LITTLE ROCK - Because of the political clout of Southern University, Southwestern Athletic Conference football teams will play a contrived conference schedule this fall.<=====I stopped reading right there and automatically knew that this was TOTAL GARBAGE and strictly hearsay.

beyond s--!!!


"stupid is as stupid WRITES!!!"

:shame: :shame: :shame: :shame:

So what's new? Politics have ALWAYS been at work in the SWAC. And Southern have ALWAYS had political clout. We flexed our muscles publicly and got what we wanted. DEAL WITH IT!



Wasn't this supposed to be the first year for the 9-game mandate? Guess somebody in Arkansas is still :redhot:

Harry King is a White beat writer for the Arkansas Razorbacks. I was surprised to see his name as the author of the article. The majority of White folx in this state don't know jack shat about the SWAC, or either the scheduling fiasco. They don't give a dayum about UAPB,Grambling or Southern. When they read it they probally said typical Niqqas can't work together.

They love see Black people un-organize. When I saw this article in the paper I ask myself why is the dude writing about something that his readers really don't give shat about?

Then an :idea: popped in my head. Last week after the Nolan Richardson ruling in which he lost,TV stations and radio stations aired comments from Black citizens, and most of them said they would never send their child to Fayetteville or to be a Razorback.

On the radio stations Black people said I would like my child to go to UAPB or any other HBCU. But the majority of the comments were about Arkansas's Black athletes should go to UAPB. So in what better way to squash any ideas of some Arkansas's Black high school athletes about going to UAPB or any other HBCU is to publicized how un-organized THE SWAC IS RIGHT NOW.

I know those of you who do not live in this state cannot grasp the idea of how the political situation is between UAPB and Fayetteville. Ever since Ron Johnson, Chris Akins, Kevin Williams and other former Razorbacks transferred to UAPB,UAPB for has ever since has been treated like a red headed step child in the media.

Harry King really don't give a flying a red fugg about UAPB.

Hhhhmmmm......

That is interesting. Let a school, especially an HBCU, get some of their football players, and some folks will really get angry. It looks like Nolan did UAPB a little favor in a strange way. This could really get even more interesting.

MD, why do you feel no one pays any attention to AAMU?

We recognize the fact that the majority of SWACers do not see the Bamas and mostly AAMU evr being a power in the SWAC. AAMU was a good addition for the SWAC, first of all we have been around 129 years. Secondly, we are making a effort to win every championship. Thirdly, we feel that our spending on all our programs is as good or better than anyone else in the SWAC or Division 1AA. At SU homecoming last year it was good to see the players talk trash, but now they now they have to back it up. We don't want athletes who are just proud to be on scholarship, we want to make them understand that winning is great for AAMU.

When we get to Houston this year let's talk about it.

Politics at work in SWAC

LITTLE ROCK - Because of the political clout of Southern University, Southwestern Athletic Conference football teams will play a contrived conference schedule this fall.

The foundation said no and while Southern pondered the standard payout, Gateway contacted Alabama A&M. With a huge alumni base in St. Louis, Alabama A&M jumped at the chance. ...

no dog in this hunt, but being an Alabama native, glad AAMU is in the mix. politics in the SWAC (or any other conference)?? gee i never would have guessed. money rules.
 



Frat,

I have much respect for you, your school, and your program. It's just taking a while for your name recognition to hit with the casual fan. I think most GSU football fans were aware of the quality of your program prior to you joining the SWAC. There were some thrilling games before you became members.

I was glad to see you guys as part of the expansion years ago. Yall introduced us to a lot of things, including those synchronized stadium exits. :lmao:

Good luck this season!

MB, Solomon was a great teacher and I believe that are some things that must be experienced to really know the truth. I believe if AAMU had adopted the attitude that we should be satisfied with just being in the SWAC then I believe the offcials would have looked at us in a different light.
I don't believe the average SWAC Fan understand the investment of moving from D2 to D1AA, but we have invested in our programs and now we must in my opinion change the mindset of the officiating in our conference. Even though many SWAC Fans don't see this as an issue because based on what I witness each year some teams benefit from the old attitudes of our officials. I know officials are not perfect but they need to be more conscience of what they are doing. We spend a lot of dollars on sporting events and in my opinion, we should get what we pay for. Since the schools pay the officials, maybe we can demand better accountability in the future and increase the pay. I hate to see an official calling football and the next week he is on the basketball court.
